The newly elected MLA from Vijaynagar, Anand Singh, continues on his lyrical journey, this time expressing undying gratitude to the Brothers Reddy—Karunakar and Janardhan—and their common pal, B. Sriramulu, by congratulating them on their becoming ministers, through half-page ads in the newspapers.

We have seen Ad’s placed by some pimps belonging to the Congress and Janata Dal earlier praising even the Dogs of their leader.So why complain now.And what is this criminalisation business.The newspapers and Media are also making money in the process.So is the Media also involved in looting the State ???

Mining is a business activity which generates large profits .Same with Software.Why discrimate and go hammer and tongs against one particular Industry.

Most of what is wrong with Karnataka politics figures in the ad: criminals, black money and unbridled power. Take it from me, these very persons will ruin whatever is left of Karnataka’s name.
They only good they will do is to cause the downfall of the BJP.

Almost One in every four(25 out of 110)* cheddi MLA in the new Karnataka Assembly is tainted by criminal charges. This is from BJP, which frequently accuses the Congress of criminalising politics. This is undisputedly most criminal party ( I mean … party with criminals) in Karnataka.

@National Level

I am not defending ruling government for its share of criminals, but lets not forget what cheddis did in past/are doing. How can you forget that famous Yadav Don Episode (cheddis had conveniently embraced him into their fold). Remember only after Sharp Media Criticism you guys were embarrassed and revoked his membership. And if they consider some one from Gujrat as a national leader, they have absolutely no competition to the most criminal/genocidal leader in present history. Ethically or morally this doesn’t augur well for a party which claims to be free of criminals, infact it only increases its credibility as a diabolically double speaking party.

The Cheddis (yes, there is no better word to describe them) on churumuri can only provide psychological resistance, I have rarely seen them defend themselves using Logic. Their answers or objections are always devoid of fair judgement and concentrate on some trivial observations/sarcastic comments.

I morally support the BJP..But hope this government does not fall in the trap of lobbies..real-estate and mining to mention..lobbies are a dabgerous lot..In the past, we have seen many governments falling cos of their bad influences..

Talking abt this advt., The language used was downright poor..Guess Mr.Anand Singh despite his riches could not mange good english..could have simply kept quiet instead of displaying his pathetic linguistic skills !

It looks to me that since the Bellary gang became rich all of a sudden (and ofcourse they are BJP), everybody by default classifies them as criminals. But how much of their wealth is due to criminal activity and how much has been earned by exports? Iron ore mining has become extremely profitable and infact you should just look at the market cap of state controlled MMTC, which has increased more than 15x in the past 3-4 yrs to see how little the central gov’t cares for mineral resources of the country and is more interested in exporting iron ore to china. Why doesn’t the kaangi gov’t at the centre not have a strong mining policy, when the Bellary gang is pro BJP?

Let me give you some facts.
Reddys are always very active in Karnataka politics. Not every Reddy will have his or her caste title.
All the three Chief ministers of three states in post independence South Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Tamil Naadu are from the Reddy community.
In addition some of the politicians with Patils, Sarnayaks family names also belong to Reddy community. Reddys are there in Bellary/ Hospet and many parts of old Hyderabad Karanataka and in Bengaluuru, Kolar, Tumkur, Chitradurg etc.
If you are not aware of this fact, we can not help it. I think Karanatka alone Telugus constitute about 40 percent of the total population. Most of them speak Telugu at home and use Kannada in public.

Hospet has very good water sources. Many of the Reddys living there are rich. But now a days Reddys in Bengaluuru may be richer than them because of real estate boom as 80 % of the land in and around Bengaluuru owned by agriculture community Reddys.

Many parts of Bengaluuru Urban and rural districts were owned by Reddy community. My own great-grandfather used to own nearly 2000 acres in the beginning of 20th century and some of it was confiscated by Britishers as they could not pay the taxes levied on them. That was due to continuous famines. Some places in Bengaluuru rural district still bear his name.
My grandfather donated lands to schools and you can find his photo in Mysore palace even today. (if they have removed you will not)

We are here in Karnataka for centuries and the states on the bassis of languages were created and carved out of many regions to safeguard particular language and its heritage.

Some of my ancestors in Hosur district petitioned and collected signatures to then government to include Hosur district in to Mysore state. But then Chief minister of Tamil Naadu Chakrvarthy Rajagopalachari(?) had won the MLA ship from Hosur and it meant loosing his own constituency and he saw to it Hosur did not go to Mysore state. This is the story. Hosur did not have any Tamil population before. It had Kannada and Telugu speakers only. Tamils started moving in after industrilaization of that region.

You can shoot a mail to BDA or land records keeping agency(Taluk office?) and confirm it.

We are not outsiders!!. May be if you hail from a different district and come to Bengaluuru, you can be termed an outsider rightfully I guess!

If you dont know these facts, I dont think Ignorance is Bilss.

If I go by your equation Reddy=Andhra Pradesh!!!!???, then people with Desai, Kulkarni, DeshpandeS should also be treated outsiders as most of them speak Marathi and should be kicked out of Karnataka.!!!
That means Kannada speakers in Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Naadu and Maharastra should be kicked out of their home states.!!

Before writing comments check up facts and see who is an outsider.

You dont have anything against Kiran Mazumadar minting money at the cost of drinking water of many villagers in Bengaluuru rural areas. Because she does under a sophisticated garb.

Politicans whether from Congress, JD(S) or (U??), BJP or any other party will share and have common interets. If you ever think they are going to serve like Sanyasis, You are wrong.

You must be a novice to understand politics.

They all look for gains cutting across diffferences and political affiliations.
Congress with father-mother son- ‘sose’-grandson(mari maga)(From Nehru to Rahulappa & Priyamma) have maintained that grand tradition.

Educated People cry foul, when children of ‘lesser known families try to imitate the same. May be they are unabled do so in style and sophistication.
Untill 1990’s all the prime ministers were from North.

South India give two PMs. We have to remember the contribution made by
P.V. Narasimha Rao. If he did not take that bold step towards economic liberalisation of the country, we probably would n’t have made the present economic developement. Of course, there are many problems with present kind of developement,

Who remembers him?

The congress at the orders of ‘High Command’ is eliminating his memory and his name from the public. He was not given a place for his burial in Shanti Bhoomi.

Is Congress a secular party? Is the CPM secular? Is JD Secular party?
The great communists of India use to criticise Congress and joined to form UPA to save ‘secularism’
All these parties have always played ‘communal card’ ‘religious sentiments’ to the fullest. BJP openly says their ideology is based on religion. Some parties were hiding the religion card.

Have you guys ever thought how we are still ruled by Europeans?
Soniamma 100% European
Rahulappa = Half European (His girl friend full European, Spanish)
Priyamma=Half European
Robertappa= (Priyammas husband. Father Christian convert and his mother European Christian)

Kannadigas shud be wary of these reddis who have already looted our land indiscriminately. Kannadigas, wake up, outsiders r entering Karnataka’s main stream politics through backdoor. Kannadigas shud kick out all andhra wallahs immediately. Karnataka shud immediately implement 80% job reservations to kannadigas in IT and Non It inds. Else the youth of this state will revolt.

well, As you know other parties are jealous of the Reddy brothers. they work hard and have plenty of money and they taxes to the govt. what wrong with that. simply accusing them doest not justify and then we have rule of law which will bring people to justice whoever they may be. Be proud of Bellary and stop this nonsense.
